What supply and decimals should I use for a POPCAT-style token?
POPCAT has a supply of ~979,973,221 with 9 decimals. You can enter the same numbers (supply 979,973,221, 9 decimals) or pick your own. Most new tokens use the form default of 1,000,000,000 at 9 decimals.
Can I call my token POPCAT or use its logo?

After creating your token, create a Raydium CPMM pool on the Liquidity page and pair it with SOL. SPL Token Launcher charges no platform fee for the pool; Raydium's own pool fee applies. Once the pool exists, aggregators such as Jupiter can route trades to it.
